Let's talk about conflict.
But first...coffee (A brief🧵)

I don't know if you know this, but coffee actually changes flavors as it cools down. (Maybe the coffee doesn’t change flavors, but your brain grows in its ability to process flavors as it cools down) (1/7

Your top of the week reminder to slow down.

Most of our Resolutions aren't bad. They're just undercooked. 

February feels like a good place to start now that we have a sense for what the New Year is like. What are you resolved to do with the rest of this year?

January is for reflecting, not resolving. It's still winter. Let's wait until creation comes out of hibernation before we talk about our big plans for our lives.

Don’t allow people who never ask questions try to convince you they love you.

Love demands curiosity.

“For the first time in a long time (maybe ever), as grief has been in the foreground, she’s been flaunting her complexity. With open hands, she's shown me that for every dollar of sorrow she's given me over the decade, she's put another dollar of joy in a savings account.”

Every year, I take a 4-week break from engaging online. Usually between March 17th and April 14th. (The day my brother was born and the day he passed away). Those have become my yearly blackout dates.

This year, those 4 weeks turned into 8 months. Not because I was sad, but

[John Onwuchekwa @JawnO]

because I was so invested in reflecting on the beauty of living in the present.

I wrote some words about it yesterday.

AGE 40 - AGE 40 - Looking through the REARVIEW

I’ve been very blessed to do life alongside the best people.

This past decade has been full of grief.
My life is (and always has been) full of hope.

This is 40.

“Tragedy doesn’t ruin anyone, hopelessness does”

TODAY I TURN 40.

One of the most important lessons I've learned is that life makes more sense in the rearview mirror than it does through the windshield.

Take a trip with me down this past decade on this brief 🧵

AGE 39 - I became a doctor.

Wild.

My work was/is on Grief.

I found a new calling (or better yet...a new calling found me)
